The Coming Boom" article printed in |
the DEMOCRAT was one OF the biggest |
scoops" on the other papers that has |
been scored for long time by any local |
paper. The matter was the topic OF con-
versation in business circles last evening
and this morning, and everything indi-
Gates that the news created sensation.

hdence than ever in the reliability of the
statements, and all who have interests in

Last night about II O'Clock a couple
OF gentlemen, who live in the east part
OF town, were on their way home. Com
ing to u corner where they were to separ-
ate, they stopped for half an hour chat
ting on Utah affairs. On the opposite
corner to where they halted lives an old,
dried.up polygamist, who has been
scared nearly out Of his hide for fear of
the deputies, Hearing the gentlemen
aforementioned, the old Saint took
them for deputies. Losing no time, he
leaped on an old plug horse he keeps for
the purpose, slipped quietly out OF the
gate and rode off for dear life. The gen
ttlemen, taking in the situation, had
hearty laugh over the affair.
